Nothing was going the way that the Nameks had wished it to. Piccolo was suffering major headaches, Dende's healing power was'nt working right, and Himegami was an emotional mess after losing her son. Dan-dan and Veggie were out and about trying to figure out where Omega had gone to. Dan-dan came running up to the group of Nameks, who were exercising and sparring in a woody revene. Veggie came running up to them too. "Guys! Guys!" Himegami gave them a cold stare. "Er. . and Ladies. . er. . all Nameks in general," said Dan-dan. "We figured out where they were going! A couple of badly injured elders told us where they were." Himegami got excited. "Well that's great!" She said, springing up from her set of push-ups. Dan-dan frowned. "No, it's not. We found out that they are hiding out at the old temple over," ::Veggie points to a strobing dome of light:: "there." Dende's jaw dropped what seemed forever. "Oh, holy. . " Said Dende, wiping the sweat off his head. "Did they?" said Dende to Dan-dan. Dan-dan nodded his head.Dende went pale all over. Himegami tryed to keep a smile, but it quickly dissolved. "Wh-. . Whats so bad?" Dan-dan sighed. "Well I guess you would find out sooner or later. It all ties in with my job. As you know here on Namek, they follow the strict rule of the fire goddess. We would all live in harmony under the unique idea that there would be one golden rule: Do unto others, as you would do unto those you care about. Everyone thought that was great. Every year, we would celebrate the day that the rule was enforced. In a giant ceremony, everyone would go up to the jade statue and touch it, channeling a small amount of thier energy into the statue as an offering to the fire goddess. Every 6 years, this ceremony would fall under a full moon, causing the fire goddess to appear in front of the whole crowd of people, and blessing them with a divine power, much like Guruu-sama did. The bad part, is that this year is the year of a full moon, and if Omega gets his hands on the power,. ." Hime gasped. "Oh no. . What about Chibi-Kimo-" Hime was stopped short. "The bare truth is," said Dan-dan,"Is that if Omega forced Kimono to use that power, then it would be like reawakining the evil power in your son, and he would be baptized with the blood of those who died, and turn into the ultimate evil." Hime held the tears back in her eyes. Her pupils dialated, and her eyes stung like hornets had built a nest in them. Piccolo held her close. Every one stared at the glowing dome of energy. Dende looked at the ground. "May the fire goddess turn this rusted planet back into it's original Eden. If it can't, may goddess have mercy on our souls."
Chapter 51: Point of no return
Omega's eyes glistened under the full light of the moon. Kimono stared blankly ahead, as if hit by a 2 x 4. He slowly turned his head to Omega. "It's time." Omega smiled slyly. "Yes. I know." None of the usuall visitors were seen at the temple. Omega had made a small alter over the temple, taking a dead elder, and draining him of his blood. The green secretion oozed over Omega's hand. His imprompt bloodlust went ravenge, as he licked his fingers with solitude and delight. A small mechanical sound could be heard as his jaw moved up and down. He smiled like nothing in the world was going to change his mind about his ideas.
The small rays of light broke through the dark, feathery clouds of the night. The red moon lit up the ground like hellfire had come alive, and was damcing on the soil. Omega began a small phrase in namickian, speaking in short, sharp verses, trying to make the passage from the evil book come alive from his mechanical mind of bio and mechanical compounds. Kimono looked around as Omega finished the passage. It was dead silent, like one of earth's many graveyards on a waxing moon. Soon, the ground began to rumble."m m m m m M M M M." The night sky lit up. It looked as if the Armeggedon had come. Omega smiled. A jade statue rose up from the ground. It began glowing a faint white. Omega laughed manaically. He went up to the statue. "Oh goddess, grant me the power of the ages!" The small jade statue rose up in the air. The goddess of fire from the statue began to move. The jade statue had come to life! It looked at Omega, who was grinning like a complete moron. He looked at the statue. "You heard my demands. grant them. NOW!" The statue's jade hands began to glow. A ray of light shined over Omega's invisible third eye. He began to maon with pain, as his veins began to pulsate with his godly blood. He levitated in the air. "Yes. . Yes this is what I have been waiting for." The jade statue's hands stopped glowing, and it floated back down to earth. Omega floated in the air, glowing with power. He smiled evily as he eyes Kimono. He landed gracefully and quietly on the ground. Kimono still stared blankly ahead, in his demonly trance. Omega made a small incision in his wrist. Bright green blood flowed over. He laughed. "Are you ready my son?" Kimono nodded, as if against his will. With that, Omega took his blood, and put it over the small, scarring hex of his on Kimono's forehead. Kimono began to scream out loud. He transformed again, into some kind of half namek half beast creature with bright blue eyes.Large gold coils wrapped around his body. His head elongated, into a armorlike shield, and his soul was now completely gone. He was a mecha warrior. Omega looked up in the sky as Kimono's transformation took place. As he smiled wickedly, deep in his mind he realized what he had done: Kimono was damned forever. It was the point of no return.
Himegami grabbed her cheast. She began to breath heavily, trying to regain her breath. Veggie held her shoulder and tryed to comfort her. "Are you alright?" Hime looked up at Veggie with frantic tears of mourn in her eyes. Veggie felt her Head, she was burning up. He became worried. "Uh. . are there any doctors near this clearing? She dosen't look to good." Dan-dan and Dende went over to her. She was sweating madly. Dan-dan sighed. "This dosen't look to good. . It is probably associated with the statue. . I hope she will be alright soon." Dende knelt beside her. She was sobbing into the palms of her hands. "Uh. .is something bothering you?" Himegami kept crying. "Of course there is! I've lost my son, and we're all going to die because I can't go goddess mode anymore!!" Dan-dan hearrd those words and felt mortaly ill to his already weak stomach. Piccolo stood up. "Did you feel that?" He said, looking at the pulsating dome of light."I've never felt a power reading like that before! It must be something new..I mean I never felt that coming from Omega or My so-" He gasped and looked at Dende. Dende was so pale, that a few more shades lighter and he would be as white as a sheet. Piccolo clamped his fist tighter. "We are to late. He is no longer of our kind. . but more or less the super-inhuman form that you mentioned." Himegami started wailing out of control she stood up and pounded her fists into a tree. She had gone completly berserk! She destroyed everything that she could see in her blurred vision. She sank to her knees, wide eyed and completely lost. "Did you hear that? I can hear my son. . he's calling me from heaven now. . can you hear him." Dende sighed and backed up. "Great. . now she's dillusional. WE HAVE TO GET HER BETTER!" Dan-dan looked at a small runestone in his pouch. "I could. . no. Not yet. . we will wait until. ." Piccolo and Veggie looked at him. "Excuse us? What were you saying?" Dan-dan trailed off. "Nothing. . absolutly nothing." Piccolo took Dan--dan by the neck and started to lift him up. "FINISH YOUR DAMN SENTENCE YOU PANTYWAIST!!!! I'LL KICK YOUR ASS RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!" Dan-dan clawed at Piccolos wrists until he dropped him. Piccolo rubbed his wrists, and Dandan rubbed his neck."I was going to say. . I could use the bloodstone rune to reawaken her divine power, but the surge could kill her." Piccolo looked glumly at the ground. "Well we have to fight soon before he reaches critical mass and tears the planet apart. Veggie and Dende nodded. Veggie took the dillusional fire goddess in his hands, and the group of four flew off to the dome of light.
The group sliced through the cold namek air of the planet. The clouds of crimson threads floated past their heads. Himegami was clinging to Veggie. She was temporarily blind from her temprature. "I'm cold. . so cold . . " She said to Veggie as she shivered. He looked down onto her with pity and sorrow. "I wonder why she is that way." Dende looked at him. "It is probably linked with Chibi-Kimono. . but. . then again.. why dosen't Piccolo act that way." Piccolo stopped mid air. and snapped his fingers. "Thats it! I think I know why It's not affecting me!" He looked at Dende, who was crossing his arms. "You know when Kimono was created?" Dende frowned. "Yeah. . I sw the whole thing." Piccolo smirked. "Well Himegami had to go goddess form to create him right?" Dende looked puzzled. "Yeah. . but what would that have to do with it?" Piccolo looked a little perturbed for Dende not being the least bit impressed. "Well Dende, If she had to be goddess to make the GOOD Chibi-Kimono, then when Kimono turns EVIL, he probably would have sapped her divine energy to stay in evil form." Dende looked up at Piccolo, with wide eyes. "Ohh! I see now!" Dan-dan motioned them to keep flying, so they did. The wind was becoming a problem for Veggie. Since he was carrying Himegami, the wind was becoming more apt to push him back, so he lagged severly behind the group.
Not before to long, the group was outside of the glowing dome. It made a small humming sound, as if some strong Ki was keeping it up and running. Himegami shivered slightly. She looked so helpless it was pitiful. Veggie flew down to the ground. The rest of the group followed. He looked at the sheild. "I wonder what would happen if I threw something at it. . " He looked around. He found a giant mountain next to him. He punched his hand into, pulling out a large boulder, and leaving an equally large crevese. He launched it at the sheild. It exploded on impact. large pebbles rained down from the sky. Piccolo stood on top of Hime, to make sure that she didn't get injured anymore than she already was. Dende and dan-dan used power blast to try and divert some of the rocks, so that they fell elsewhere. Hime opened her eyes. Her pupils were white with a faint sense of blue. Piccolo stared at her, in total disgust of her bizzare eyes. She tryed to speak, but the effort to do so was to much for her weak body.
An hour or so went by, and the sheild wasn't weakening. Veggie and Dan-dan were still trying to use finger darts and ki ball against it, but it didn't do anything except repel them. Piccolo and Dende were trying to tend to her. Her body so cold and still, they thought she was dead. Dende assured that she had gone into a kind of hibernation mode. Piccolo looked around. Oh this is pathetic! he thought. Dende went over to Dan-dan to ask him for some help. While he was gone, Piccolo started to do push ups to pass the time. Himegami looked at him, even though she couldn't see him clearly enough to make out his figure. She tryed to talk to him. . but nothing came out. She closed her eyes again. Piccolo? Piccolo-san can you hear me? Picoclo looked up. Obviously he could hear her voice in his mind. She had succesfully used ESP to contact him in her couragous efforts. Piccolo. . I know i'm not crazy. . I really can hear our son. . .the good half of him calling from heaven. . He is telling us to be strong. .Can't you hear him? Piccolo walked over to her. Her pale eyes glistened with the tears that sheeted over them. He tryed to act nice. . but it was hard for him. He was used to showing only raw emotion. I'm sorry. . but.. I can't hear him. I can't hear him at all.."
Dan-dan rushed up to them. Piccolo looked up. "So. . can you do anything?" Dan-dan sighed. "There is only one thing we can do. . But it's very risky. Then something weird happened. HImegami proped her self up on her elbows. "Do what you must," she said in a small voice. "If these will be my last hours here, I can only sacrifice what I must." Veggie looked at her in appreciation. "What she will do for the good things in life." Himegami sighed. "Good is not a 'thing'. You can neither touch nor own it. No, Good is a vision we all share and strive to make real."
Dan dan held the bloodstone rune over Himegamis head. He waived it around her body. She began to glow. "I don't know if this will work, It has been a while. . " He stood up, while Veggie waived the rune over her body. Dende took her head and channeled all his good energy into her. She began to glow brighter:
The tears of pain I weep to the skies
Not bitter drops, but water made divine.
Each gem of sorrow slips, no longer mine,
But proffered thus to echo other cries.
Her body gave off a soft red glow. Glory surged through her and radience surrounded her. All things were possible with the blessing of the divine. Long white ribbons replaced her cloths, as they wrapped around her body. A soft blue belt of saphire and amethyst coiled over her tiny waist, and the wings of opal and glass sprounted from her shoulder blades. She was on her hands and knees. It worked! She didn't die! The other four nameks stood there in awe of her amazing grace and beauty. She opened her eyes of soft white and garnet. "She looked up at the four Nameks. . not knowing what to say. "I-. . I-. . How can I ever repay you?" Dan-dan looked at her. "Oh my god. . it's her. . " He almost fell backwards. "Uh. . do you think you could break through this sheild?" Himegami smiled. Certainly. "She raised her hand up in the air. "Akuryou Taisan! (evil begone)" The sheild sputtered, and then died down, reveiling the temple. She smiled, but her smile quickly faded when she heard the laugh. "Well Well," said Omega as he struted out from inside the temple. His evil aura was glowing black around him. Hime looked sternly at him. "We have done nothing. . leave this place at once or feel the consiquences. He snickered. "Oh no! The consiquences! Did you hear that. . son?" The mutant mecha emerged from the temple. Himegami gasped. Veggie and Piccolo stared wide eyed at him. Her hands went up to her mouth. "Oh my god.. what as he done to you?" Kimono ankoku smiled. He has shown me the way. . he told me about all the demise and hate you gave me as a child." Himegami almost cried. "What? No I havent? What did he tell you? Who are you? Your not the Kimono I knew." Kimono smirked. "Of course not. I am your executioner. And this will be the last day you will see your lovers face. . or for that. . your brother either. . " Dan-dan stepped forward. "We are not afraid of you. . You cannot harm us." "Oh really?" Said Kimono. Kimono's gold coils grew long and pointed. He launched them at Dan-dan. The points crashed into a mountin, causing in to turn to rubble. Kimono let out a sickly giggle. "Now you know what is like to feel death come to you!" Piccolo preformed a mystic attack to Kimono's head. Kimono naturally dodged it. Omega smiled. "Oh? So its a fight you want?" He growled. The ground began to shake wildly. His low toned growl soon turned into a scream. He began to change shape again. His green skin fell off of him. He soon turned into a robot that looked like a Mechwarrior elite guard. Dende was scared out of his mind, and tryed not to show it. The mech eyed Dende. "I see we have god here too? What do you come here for?" Dende looked sternly and angeraly into the eyes of the robot. "I came here as a wish to Guruu from his death bed. . " The robot smiled. "And soon you will feel the same thing! But your request will not be heard. With that, The mech threw a giant orange ball of Ki into the namek warriors, swallowing them into the light.
The light engulfed the whole side of the planet. The two mecha's smiled, but not for long. Ater the dust cleared, they began to see Hime's figure. He arms were outspread, stopping the blast before it ever hit the fighters. She looked coldly at Omega. "Give me my son back. .give his life back!!!" With that, a huge fight sequence began. All the fighters ganged up on the mecha's, trying to kill them all. Ki blast and punches went and came from every direction. The fight became very intense. Everyone was involved. Omega soon started to bore of the fight. "This is pathetic! You all fight like wimps!" Piccolo had an idea. "Everyone gather up as much energy as you can!" All the fighters began to do so. The two mechas looked confused. When all thier Ki was as high as it could go, They shot the giant gentikangu BuuBuu volleyball at the mecha. Omega-mecha looked ahead. He took Kimonoankoku-mecha and launched him front of himself. The giant ball of Ki hit Kimono. Kimono screamed in rage. The skin fell off, and all that was left was a char broiled mecha frame. His one good eye glowed bright red, and then faded. His life functions ceased. Piccolo looked at the poor mecha and screamed. "YOU BASTERED! THAT WAS MY SON!!" Piccolo was filled with rage. Veggie and Himegami were too. Dende and Dan-dan charged at Omega with Veggie and Piccolo behind them. HImegami held on to her dead "son." The others continued fighting. The green layer of skin drapped off of Kimonoankokou-mecha's head. She felt torn. She touched her fingers to his burnt frame. Small wire shortages and gears made little, spontanious flashes of light inside of him. Her hands began to tighten around his frame. She whipped her head from the ground, with tears in her eyes. She screamed in rage. Her aura exploded into a myrid of gold and silver. She flew up into the air. Soon, new red ribbons flowed around her body. A sapphire chained tiara with a small sigal of Himegami's formed on her head. Her glass wings became irredesent. When she was done, she was a totally new goddess. She had gone into goddess mode 2! She flew silently down onto the ground. Her gold sandles made no sound when hitting the grass. She stared ahead, with deathly seriousness. She let the wind move her wings up and down, and her robes side to side. She was ready to avenge her son's death.
"ENRUGI MAKKENKOUOUSPOU!" A wild corkscrew blast collided into the mecha. Omega was getting badly beaten. Veggie was powering up, when He saw Himegami coming toward the group. She walked gracefully, striding across the skin and wires of her dead son. Dan-dan and Dende combined forces a while ago. Their merged creation was fighting with Piccolo. Omega-mecha was begining to lose the power from its back up battery. The blood from the fighters gleamed in the sun like a moth to the flame. Himegami was a few yards away from the fight. She holds her hands, palm-up to the sky and looks up at it too. White sparks fly from her fingertips. The sky gets very dark. She begins to glow. "Chikara-enerugi-noryoku juji saseru!" A beam of white light appears from the sky and swallows her. She fires a beam at the Omega-mecha.Piccolo and the merger jump out of the beams way. Omega's eltric eyes flash as he cancels out the energy. "You little whore of a goddess. ." He says to her, "I'll show you where you belong: under my foot like the little peice of shit you are!" Himegami and Piccolo disappear. In the void of space Himegami and Piccolo are seen. "Why did you bring me here?" Says Piccolo. Himegami smiles. "Just punch on my cue. . " The reappear in front of Omega ."Surprise surprise!" They take thier fists and punch through Omega-mecha's chest together in unison. Omega-mecha's face grows fearful. "Terminal shutdown. .android 58 version 6.08a" The mecha blows up, flinging Himegami into Piccolo. The merger turns back into Dan-dan and Dende. Veggie comes up slowly from behind Himegami. Himegami and Piccolo watch the lights and smoke rise up from the ground with the rest of them. The nightmare was over. The cult ceased to exsist.
--------––––––––
Veggie looked at Himegami. "Wow.. where did that come from? She smirked at him. "I have faith, I have prayers, but when push comes to shove, I have a little extra." Veggie smiled and looked at her, but it quickly faded. "We never did train Chibi-kimono. . I guess now I will never know my roots. . or how to cure me.. .And to be honest. . I can't even remember what our mission was." Dende sighed. "Veggie. . I think there is something you should know."
Dende sat on the ground. "Veggie, Your real name is Vegeta breifs. Your are a race known as the Saiya-jins." Veggie looked at him. "Then. . that must be. . " He looked at the group of Nameks circling him. "Is that why those weird memories kept coming to me?" Dende sadly nodded. Veggie's eyes clouded up with tears. . "Oh my lord. . " Dende stood up. "And here is the part that you will hate a whole bunch. You never really needed to train Chibi-Kimono. The only reason we planned that was so that over the years you would come to love him. . all of you. . and you would forget about finding out the truth." Veggie looked very angry. "Well? What is the truth?" Dende looked at the ground. "The truth is Vegeta, there is no way to cure you. You will remain to be what you are now forever and on, unless,. . for certain instances that would never really happen,. . " Veggie was shocked. He stared ahead into space. A single tear glided down his cheak. He Fell to his knees. "I AM NOT WHOLE? I AM NOT HUMAN? I WILL NEVER BE WHAT I WANT OR WISH? WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME?! I HAVE NO SOUL NOR SOUL MATE? I AM LOST AGAIN?" Dende tryed to remain calm. "I'm sorry Vegeta." Himegami took Veggie's shoulder. "It's okay. I understand where you are coming from. And now that the truth is coming out. . There is something I must tell you Piccolo. . " Piccolo looked at her . "Yeah?" She looked sadly at him. " My time with you is short. I know I will always be the number one priority in your life, but. . my constant time with you will be . . .well. . . You will soon come to terms with one of your many soul mates." Piccolo looked confused. "What? What are you talking about?" Himegami tryed to hold her tears back. "You have 4 soul mates. Kami, Veggie, me, and someone else. You will marry her." Piccolo looked at her. "Marry? What are you talking about?" She looked into his eyes. "She is an artificial human, but she will teach you many lessons of life. She will also die." Piccolo looked very confused. "Okay. . Why are you telling me this?" Himegami sighed. "For one reason: You and I know that we can never.. well. . 'properly' love each other. And Now that a new chapter must begin in our lives, I feel sad for this." Piccolo held her shoulders. "I know. . but we are what we are. . " Dende smirked. "There might be a way around that guys. . "
Dende smiled. "When Guruu died, all the dragonballs went with him. That could of been a chance to change it. But that makes it easier. If we make a new set of dragonballs, then we wont have to search for them, and you can still get your wish!" Hime smiled. She looked at Piccolo. "Please say-" "Yes" said Piccolo. "You don't know how long I've wanted this to happen." Himegami smiled. The whole group joined hands and began to chant.
"thrice around the circle bound, Evil sink into the ground.
From the makers hand thou torn,balls of glass, please reform."
The ground began to lift up. It formed small balls of the Namek soil and then !@#WHAMO#@! A new set of dragonballs appeared and fell to the ground. "Flop! flop flop!" The balls fell against the soil, making little clanky sounds. Himegami smiled. "Are you ready?" She said holding Piccolo's hands. He smiled. "More than ever." The sky became dark. Small points of light fell from the sky like a shimmering shower of rain against the sunset. Shen-Long's enourmouse body appeared in the sky. "What is your wish?" he said in a low growl. Piccolo shouted. "Please, rid all Nameks of thier gender neutralcy! Please give us the parts we need and seek to make love to each other and other humans!" Shen-Long's eyes flashes green. "It shall be done." The whole planet was covered in a wholesome light and then Shen-Long disappeared, and the Dragonballs re-scattered. Piccolo looked at Himegami. "Well. . We don't look any different." Veggie frowned " Yeah and all I have to say about this is-" HIs face became very weird and he began to look edgy. "I-. . I-. . I-. . " He said. "Well? Spit it out!" Said Dan-dan. Veggie looked awkwardly at the trio. "I. .really need to go to the bathroom." He laughed. "Just kidding! Just kidding!"
The group smiled a little as they chuckled beneith thier breath.
Piccolo and Himegami looked at each other. "Well. . now what do we do?" said Piccolo. "Well. . would you like to uh. . you know. . 'rock the casbah'?" Piccolo smiled and then frowned. "Yeah. . but what would we get out of it? I mean. . we basically lost our first chance." A light appeared out of the clouds of darkness above them. It shined before them. "Oh have you really?" Said a small voice. Himegami gasped. "Chibi-kimono-san?" A small namek figure appeared before them, like a ghostly vision. "Do not fear me. . I am the soul of Chibi-Kimono. Remember when I told you to be strong,. . That was no dillusion,. . it was me,. . I'm coming down here to tell you that it is not to late, and that in reawakening what is true to your reproductive system, you reawaken the chance to have me again." Himegami smiled. . "Then do what you must. . I miss you more than you will ever know." Chibi-Kimono smiled, and the transparent figure entered Himegami's body as the light dimmed down. Piccolo looked around. "Well all of this is happening kind of fast. . wouldn't you think?" Himegami looked ahead, too stunned to say anything. "Yeah. . "
The group of Nameks blasted off of the planet in the space ship. Dan-dan stayed behind to rebuild the planet. The rest of the fighters went off to earth.
Months of time passed, and then they finally hit earth. The floating palace looked the same. The groups giant ship landed on the marble. Popo stuck his head out of the doorwy. "Allah! You are back my lord!" Dende walked out of the space craft. "Yes Popo.We are back." Popo smiled. "I have waited a long time for you. Not much has happened in a year." Dende smiled. "You bet!"
Veggie, Piccolo, and Himegami walked out of the ship. Veggie looked around at the palace's majesty. "I never thought there could ever be something so beautiful." Himegami smiled. "Well. . now that we are here. . me and Piccolo have some un attended buisness to complete." With that. . Piccolo took Himegami into the building behind them and shut the door.
Dende looked around. "My my. . So how is everything doing with you?" said Dende. Mr. Popo looked up from his glass of tea. "Very well. Gokuu and the others come to visit about every year. They came about a week ago to check out and see if everything was okay. We also seem to have another visitor. . some artificial Human. She is very sweet, and likes to go by the name of May." Dende smiled. "That's nice."
Veggie walked around the palace. "Hmm. . this is pretty nice." He stuck his head around the corner and saw Dende and Mr. Popo talking to each other. He walked over to them.. "Uh hi guys. . I ws looking around for Piccolo and Himegami. Do you know where they are?" With that, the palace door whammed open, and a very tired pair of Nameks walked out. Dende laughed and pointed. "There they are." Himegami and Piccolo were all sweaty. Mr. Popo looked surprised. "My my. ." Himegami looked ahead. Veggie laughed too. "So did you 'rock' it? Piccolo smiled. "I think we rocked a little more that a pub. ."
The night was very long. Popo escourted the group into seperate bedrooms. They all made their adou's and went to sleep. The next morning.
::POUND POUND POUND:: "Hime!! I NEED TO TAKE A SHOWER! GET OUT!" Said Veggie. Himegami opened the door. Veggie looked surprised. "Whoa. . you look really sick. . " Himegami who was really pale nodded as best she could. . "what is that foul smelling liquid that comes up? I have never done that before." The rest of the day for Hime didn't go very well. "Oh my gosh. . why do I feel so out of breath and fatigued?" Piccolo eyed her. "I don't know. . ask Dende. . he's the healer here. Himegami walked over to the patio. "Dende," she said as she walked out, "I don't feel very well after last month or so,. .. . I keep. . what was it he called it?" She thought. . "I kept 'ralphing' this morning, and I don't feel to swell. Dende smiled. "Isn't a child sacred?" Himegami looked at him. "Excuse me?" Dende smiled. "Congradulations. Your a mother."
The next couple moths went pretty slow for Himegami. She didn't really do much accept sleep and excersise 7 hours a day. Dende kept telling her "A person of your status should take it easy," But she refused. In her spare time of sitting outside on the pation, she read multitudes of books about witches, and soon learened the material. Most nights, Piccolo would carry her around, but it was a little bit harder than usuall (for obvious reasons I need not explain).
-------
One day,on month number 5, when King kai had dropped by for a visit, he asked to see how Himegami was doing.
Piccolo smiled. "Oh! Sh'es doing great." King kai smiled. Can I see her?" Piccolo laughed a bit. "Sure. If she dosne't mind. BRB." He went into the palace. After a couple minutes, King kai heard something that sounded like whining.
'I don't want to go outh there!" said Himegami from inside.
Kai could hear the sound Of piccolo's voice.
"Its okay! He won't mind! All people that are. . pregnant,. . well. look like you do!"
Silence wnet by for a while.
"No they don't. I look huge. I don't wanna go out."
Piccolo was wispering some things that Kai couldn't hear. Kai walked slowly into the house. As he turned around the corner, he made a little sound.
Piccolo looked around. "Ah Kai, come in!"
Kai smiled. "I must be leaving soon."
Piccolo nudged Himegami, as he gave her a little kiss on the head. "He won't mind. I promise."
She held her shoulders, as her back shifted a bit, (cause her back was facing kai.) "Well, okay."
She turned around. "She was covered in a giant white cloth.
Kai looked a bit confused. "?" Piccolo smiled. "I think he wants you to remove it, Hime." She became uneasy, as she moved the cloth aside a little, and thats when Kai saw something he never thought that he would of;
Her stomach had protruded a couple inches from what it used to be; She was definantly preganant.
